We would like to discontinue performing KB stains in our laboratory and perform all fetal bleed determinations using flow cytometry. However, our flow lab is not 24/7. How do others address this issue of turn around time for results?

How long does RHIG really persist? The package insert says one thing, but with Rh-loving methods such as solid phase, I feel like I see RHIG hang around a lot longer. I think this has implication for pregnant mothers who have suffered from trauma or miscarriage prior to their current pregnancy. Thoughts?

If a patient is given RhiG post partum but prior to the fetal screen (FMH) being drawn, does this affect the results of the FMH? We use Immucor reagents for the fetal screens.

In your hospital, do you give rhogam to weakly D positive mothers without differentiating whether the mother is weak D or partial D?

Can anyone tell me if they require a patient to sign a Transfusion Consent for RH Immune Globulin and/or Albumin? We are trying to standardize our practice and I don't know of a regulation that requires a Transfusion Consent for these plasma derived products. Thanks, in advance, for your input. -
Are antibody screens required at delivery in obstetrics patients who had a negative antibody screen at 28 weeks? When RhIG is administered at 28 weeks, all screens are positive in our experience. We do not have an option for a mini-screen using solid phase. At least one obstetrician wants all of these extensively worked up, "in case the RhIG did not work". Thank you in advance for taking your time to comment.

Our current policy regarding postpartum RhIG workups is that the mother be drawn within 1 hour of delivery to ensure accurate dosing with the Kleihauer-Betke test. Does anyone else have a time frame and if so do you have a reference for where your time frame came from?
